I am one of the contributors to the new/reincarnated GenPi64 project. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
The build.dist repository contains our image builder, and you should be |
| 48 |
able to run it on the raspberry pi itself, or on an x86_64 machine. I |
| 49 |
recommend using the alpha9 branch of the repository, it has the latest |
| 50 |
improvements. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
It basically downloads an aarch64 stage3, and chroots into it and runs |
| 53 |
various configuration commands, including emerge to install new packages. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
The builder doesn't currently setup a distcc cross-compiler for you, but |
| 56 |
there are patches available for that if you really want to give that a try. |
| 57 |
It's tricky to set up. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
You might have some trouble with the kernel build, or the final image |
| 60 |
partition setup, but we're happy to help out if you just open an issue on |
| 61 |
github. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
We do have hosted images here: https://packages.genpi64.com/ -- be warned, |
| 64 |
these are not considered high quality yet. But they work well enough for |
| 65 |
the several people who've reported back to us. |
| 66 |
and our readme here: https://github.com/GenPi64/gentoo-on-rpi-64bit |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
We're actively looking for more contributors. Currently it's just 3 very |
| 69 |
busy people, so any help is good help. |
